Narrative:

While on departure from teb; I inadvertently overshot my altitude by 400 ft (2000 ft MSL). I corrected immediately and no conflict occurred with another aircraft. A passenger distracted me during the climb out and this caused me to overshoot my altitude. I discussed the situation with the passenger and informed them of the necessity of keeping silent during critical phases of flight. In the future; I will brief all passenger of this requirement to avoid distracting the pilot during critical phases of flight.

Title: C525 PLT OVERSHOT THE 2000 FOOT ALT RESTR ON THE TEB DEP.

Narrative: WHILE ON DEP FROM TEB; I INADVERTENTLY OVERSHOT MY ALT BY 400 FT (2000 FT MSL). I CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY AND NO CONFLICT OCCURRED WITH ANOTHER ACFT. A PAX DISTRACTED ME DURING THE CLBOUT AND THIS CAUSED ME TO OVERSHOOT MY ALT. I DISCUSSED THE SITUATION WITH THE PAX AND INFORMED THEM OF THE NECESSITY OF KEEPING SILENT DURING CRITICAL PHASES OF FLT. IN THE FUTURE; I WILL BRIEF ALL PAX OF THIS REQUIREMENT TO AVOID DISTRACTING THE PLT DURING CRITICAL PHASES OF FLT.
